Emily definitely caught the slip up, and the hasty movement to cover it up as best Skye could. She actually felt a smile tugging at the corner of her lips. So Skye had spent time thinking about it, and that was the direction she was at very least leaning. "That makes sense I suppose. I do think it is a little adorable you own a VCR though." She mused.

"Ah, earning your stripes. Is that it?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at Skye. She fiddled with the remote, getting the movie started. "Forewarning, I don't know if it's underrated, the fun kind of bad, or just plain bad." She responded, glancing at Skye out of the corner of her eye. Was she closer?

Emily finished navigating the menus and pressed the play button while snorting. "I suppose some of them are like tha-" She turned her head as she responded to Skye and noted how close they were, blushing lightly and turning her head back to the screen, clearing her throat a little. "I guess we'll see."

"I think we've already established that I'm ****ing adorable," she teased lightly, focusing more on the TV at this point. Or well, trying to, anyway. "Well, yeah. I'm not a full member of the X-men, yet. So I'm still earning my stripes or whatever the hell it is. I can't be 'earning my X' because that's on the uniform already. Though...how cool would that be? People standing in a line in blank uniforms and someone goes down the line pinning X's to each of them," she mused. Was she rambling?

"There's one way to find out," she replied, every now and then looking at Emily with a side-eye. As the movie started, she kept her eyes on the screen, using the movie as an excuse to avoid the awkwardness that was trying to settle in. Sure, there were things they needed to talk about, but Skye was nervous about what might happen. What if it was mostly the alcohol? What if this ended up failing, too? Besides, she didn't even know how to address this. At some point it crossed her mind that it was a good thing Emily wasn't a telepath or this would have been even worse.

She lay her head on Emily's shoulder, watching the film as her nervousness and confusion subsided just a little. Just something about Emily just....being there made it a little better. It didn't make things go away, but if Emily said she wouldn't be ran off....Skye was gonna hold her to it.

Emily nodded gravely. "You are. I'm glad you've come to accept it rather than blushing, getting awkward and flailing. Though that was admittedly, also quite adorable." She teased. Emily shook her head in amusement, the way that Skye thought was very odd to her. It was amusing to see people ramble too, especially when it wasn't her doing it. That made it extra enjoyable.

"Well that's true." She sighed as the movie started, she felt the nerves bundled up in Skye and tried not to bite her lip. She wandered what was going on inside that head of hers.

When Skye leaned her head on Emily she smiled gently. It didn't matter, she was just glad that Skye was here. And talking to her. Those two things were the ones that mattered. Emily gently looped an arm around Skye's waist and held her, leaning back against the other girl while she watched the movie. The main character getting introduced and recruited to some base in the arctic to look at something weird.

"Well, the way you lay it on, I have no choice but to accept it," she teased back, sticking out her tongue. Skye gave a slight shiver as Emily's arm wrapped around her, and the emotional mutant snuggled into the other girl a bit. She was still confused as all hell, but this moment of contact gave her warm, comfortable feelings, and she had to admit, she liked it.

Several thoughts rushed through her mohawked head: What are we? Am I ready for another relationship? Was last time just because of the drinks? Is she really looking for a relationship with me? I'd kinda like to kiss her again, though...

Her eyes focused on the movie as her body settled against Emily's. The lights had been changing colors: Orange, Purple, Pink, Yellow, and then repeated, but as the movie went on, the colors stopped shifting, and settled on a content indigo.

Emily almost immediately thought she had done something wrong when Skye shivered, and then she felt the positive emotions emanating from Skye so she instead smiled and held on gently, smiling at Skye she kind of snuggled up against her, enjoying the warmth and feeling of being right up against Skye. She murmured. "I like being close to you, your emotions are so warm." absentmindedly.

She thought about saying something several times when she sensed Skye's mild turmoil, but when Skye settled down into content she left it alone, continuing to cuddle up and watch the movie. They knew about the alien now, the suspicion of who was the thing was starting to set in. The film wasn't terrible, so far.

She smiled, biting her lip at Emily's words. "I like it too," she murmured softly, nuzzling into her shoulder. Skye wanted to say something, but she didn't. She just kept her mouth shut and enjoyed the moment.

And, the movie actually wasn't terrible so far. It was starting to pick up, which was good, meaning her attention was distracted, if only a little. But as time went on, those feelings of confusion came back, and she was having more and more trouble holding them back. Ugh, crushing on an empath was hard.

Finally, Skye decided to break the silence with a shaky, somewhat nervous voice. "Hey, uhm...Em?" she said, not looking at her, eyes still on the movie screen. "Em...w-what...I mean...What are we?" she asked, finally looking at her, only briefly. Her heart pounded viciously in her chest as her hair turned purple with nervousness, with even a slight flicker to green every now and then. This was uncharted territory, and she was more than a little worried.

Emily smiled in content. She was glad Skye got some enjoyment out of being close because she really liked it. It was so easy to ignore other people when she was with Skye, the other woman's feelings were so loud to her. Like everyone else was lower case and she was all caps, all the time. And all of those emotions when she was with Emily made Emily feel all warm and floaty and elated.

The first monster scene happened, Emily actually jumped a little. It wasn't the person that she was expecting that turned out to be the thing, which was a nice surprise to be sure. She liked feeling scared occasionally, it was a different emotion after all.

She blinked a little, picking up on Skye's feelings and gently played with her hair. She stopped and looked into Skye's eyes when she spoke to her "Mhm?" She purred, watching Skye with a smile. "What do you want us to be?"

Both girls jumped at the same time; the movie actually was better than she expected, in all honesty. But gradually, the movie became less and less of a central focus. She shivered again, both out of nervousness, and from Emily playing with her hair. The latter was nice, soothing.

Skye took a deep breath, sitting up to look Emily in the eyes, biting her lip for a moment. "I...Well, I've enjoyed spending time with you. And...I know we were a little...inebriated the last time we were together, but..." she exhaled deeply as she reached out to run a hand through Emily's hair, the purple light illuminating the girl's face, but almost perfectly matching the other girl's hair color. Huh. That was neat.

"I...personally...I'd like us to be more..." She turned back to the movie, afraid of what could possibly happen next. Skye wasn't used to this, and she didn't know she could get used to being in this situation. But if this went well, maybe she wouldn't have to.

It was Emily's turn to shiver a little when Skye started playing with her own hair. She blushed a little and looked back at Skye. It was odd to literally feel romance in the air when there was a person splitting half, sprouting teeth and tentacles from the centre their split up body, Emily did find it slightly amusing that they were feeling super romantic with the backdrop of a body horror movie .

The purple light was pretty, and so was Skye. The millionth Skye driven blush graced her cheeks as she listened to Skye and just stared into her eyes. "Skye our feelings had nothing to do with alcohol. They just made it a little easier to skirt around my... Issues." she admitted it out loud, that was something right?

Emily grinned softly. "You know I invited you kind of by accident, I was just trying to start a conversation because I'd been trying to give you space to work out what you wanted, and I was sort of sick of it, I wanted to see you." She let that rest for a moment before placing her hands around Skye's face and guiding her to Emily's own face, this time she placed a kiss on Skye. It was an affectionate, happy loving kiss.

"I wanted to let you work out what you wanted. I want you, even if I have girlfriend issues." She admitted. "I knew how you felt, I just wanted you to think about it. Decide what you thought of your feelings." She purred. "So. Wanna be my girlfriend?" She winked.

"I guess we both have issues, but the alcohol did help...a lot," she admitted. The humor of their deep, romantic conversation while someone was literally being torn in half on TV played in the background was not lost on Skye. In fact, it may have contributed to her smile.

"Yeah. I may have read too deeply into it, but I really wanted to see you, too. It really didn't change how I--" She paused as she felt hands on her face, and she instinctively turned to look at Emily. The kiss caught Skye by surprise, but she didn't remotely fight it. The purple lights turned pink as her hand tangled gently in Emily's hair, even after the kiss broke.

"Yeah, we can work through our problems together, right? I think I'm slightly confused about feelings, but I do know that this is what I want," she murmured. "Yes. I do wanna be your girlfriend," she said cheesily, her lights flashing orange and yellow and pink one right after the other, before repeating, and she leaned in, giving Emily another gentle kiss on the lips.

Emily nodded. "I'm not sure why, but for some reason until very recently I just didn't get physically close to people, you kinda made me want to." She admitted sheepishly. She was sure that Skye had probably noticed the shaking that was present until very recently. She certainly wasn't doing it anymore, given the obvious hugging, and the kissing.

There was something strangely satisfying about putting an end to Skye's adorable verbal stumbling with a kiss. Emily leaned into it gently, and affectionately. Wishing that Skye could feel the affection welling up inside her, but guessing that she could probably hazard a guess as to how Emily felt.

Emily felt a little giddy smile spreading across her lips as Skye explained and then accepted. "Yay~" She chirped, with a little giggle. She kissed back softly and affectionately, before detangling herself from Skye, leaning against her lightly and grasping her hand, tangling their fingers. "Now, weren't we watching a movi- Oh god!" That was definitely a person eating another person. Alien eating another person- it was weird, it was unexpected, the kissing had distracted her.

"Well, we've already established that I'm special," she practically purred with a smile. She did notice that Emily hadn't been as shaky, especially not since the kiss. Her hair and lights were that vibrant orange, and Skye herself felt like she was practically floating.

"Yay~" Skye repeated, her cheeks tinted a bright pink as she radiated pure happiness and giddiness. And then her attention was drawn back to the screen as Emily had said something about a movie. "Whooooa...." she said, her voice a mix of awe with a little bit of disgust. "The effects in this actually aren't bad...that actually looks like...okay, ew," she said with a slight giggle, her hand running up and down Emily's back as she brushed part of her mohawk out of her face.

"I'm glad you agree." She nodded a little, feeling like she was wrapped in all of Skye's happy emotions she felt very warm and very comfortable. It was odd, she always felt like she'd be able to sleep when she was sitting with Skye, even more so now.

As the yay came out of Skye's lips Emily giggled, moving and leaning her head on her girlfriend again for a moment. The contact and proximity made her feel so floaty and elated, even more so now that Skye felt confident and at ease with their status. If Emily was being honest with herself it made her feel super giddy too.

Recovering from her little squeak and jump Emily blushed. She was glad that Skye didn't think she was lame for jumping. It wasn't like she was bad with Horror movies, it was mostly just that she'd been distracted by snogging her girlfriend, and flailing about being in an actual relationship. She nodded gently. "They're not terrible."

"I've been thinking on this for days," she breathed. "And I was sorta afraid. I really wanted to see you, not just so we could talk about this, but I'd grown kinda used to having you around," she admitted with a smile. "But, I'm glad we did this because things turned out better than I'd hoped."

Skye smiled wider as Emily--her girlfriend--leaned against her. She really could get used to that. She turned so she was facing the TV again, and looped her arm around Emily's waist, scooting close to her as she settled back in. "They're really not. I mean, they were good enough to freak you out, eh Em?" she said teasingly, looking over at Emily and sticking out her tongue.

Emily wriggled a little and looked up at Skye. She'd been wanting to talk to her for days?!

"Well obviously I already knew how you felt." She blushed. "But I wanted to give you the space you needed. You could have come talk to me whenever you were ready. I guess my patience just ran thin, I just wanted to speak to you really badly, even if it wasn't about..." She gestured down to the way they were entangled and snuggling sheepishly. "This."

"Yeah they did." She purred, leaning into Skye warmly, watching the movie out of the corner of her eye, she was just so happy and content snuggling her girlfriend.

She grinned and shook her head. "Just because you were distracting me with your wily seductions." She shot back.
